APJUSTABLE BRACKET FOR SHADE OR OTHER ROLLERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 527,951, dated October23,1894. Application filed January 18, 1890- Serial No. 337.402. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHNA. DWYER, acitizen of the United States, and aresidentof the city of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State ofNew Jersey, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in AdjustableBrackets for Shade or other Rollers, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in brackets for shade or otherrollers, whereby the brackets or arms supporting the roller, can bearranged or adjusted for different lengths of roller by being arrangedon a plate and secured in position thereon by means of serrations orindentations provided upon the back of said plate so formed as to holdin engagement a part of the bracket or arm which is formed to correspondwith the said serrations or indentations on the plate, one of which issecured by screws to the window or door frame, or wherever desirable, ateach end of the shade roller. The indentations on the plates holding thebrackets or arms, are so divided or spaced that the brackets or arms maybe moved slightly or extensively laterally Without disturbing theplates, which may be permanently fastened by screws or nails to thecasing. It may be seen that by these means a roller of unsuitable lengthmay be readily placed in position and secured lengthwise in itsbrackets, obviating the necessity of shortening the roller, orwithdrawing nails or screws to readjust the brackets that are in generaluse at present, and as may be readily understood save destruction of thewindow and door casings, &c. I attain these accompanying thisspecification in which similarletters have reference to similar parts,and in which Figure 1 represents a part front view of a window frame andcasing with a shade roller adjusted in position. Fig. 2 is aperspectiveably located on the same. Fig. .3 is a part sectional plan of plate andbracket showing the engagement of the hook on the bracket withindentations or serrations on back of plate. Fig. 4 is a side of bracketshowing hook with its angled face to engage indentations on plate andhole for pivot of shade roller.

I will now proceed to describe the construction of my newly inventedadjustable bracket.

a represents a plate preferably of malleable iron or steel having ateach end formed on its upper edge offsets and lips I), b in which holes0' are formed so as to secure the same by screws 0 to the window casingA as in Fig. 1. On the back of the plate a are formed a number ofindentations or serrations a arranged at regular-intervals vertically orat right angles with the length of the plate a so formed that any oneindentation may receive and engage firmly the angle faced hook at by itsedges 6 which is formed on thebracket at when the same is hooked on tothe plate a. Wings d 61 extend outwardly on each side of the bracket 61and are located on the same in such a manner that they hold and sustainthe bracket d firmly at right angles upon the plate a when the same islocated thereon as in Figs. 2 and 3.

In use or operation the plates a, at by their offsets or lips b, b aresecured by suitable screws 0 on each side of the window frame A asuitable distance apart the shade and roller B having a bracket 01 withthe holef formed at its outer end, placed on its pivotf and a bracket(:1 provided with the slot d engaged to the spring rodf is then liftedon to the plates at, a so that the hooks d with the angle edges 2 engagewith the serrations or indentations a a, at the back of the plates a, a,and the wings 01 d press against the front face of the plates at, a asshown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. It will be seen that by engaging certainindentations a a by the books at d with their angle faces 6, e, thebrackets d, d may be so located on the plates 9,, a. that the shade maybe hung centrally with the window opening or doorway, and any variablelength of roller used without cutting or altering the pivots, 850.; alsowider or narrower blinds or curtains used.

Having described the construction and use of my newly-inventedadjustable bracket for shade and other rollers, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. A plate a having indentations or serrations a formed on the back ofsaid plate 0&- set lips b b formed on the upper edge andat each end ofsaid plate, said lips I), I), provided with holes a c in combinationwith a bracket 01 provided with a hook d engaging face or angle tooth elateral bearingwings (l d and" an engaging slot 01 substantially asspecified.

2. A plate a having indentations or serrations a formed on the back ofsaid plate 0&- set lips b 19' formed on the upper edge and at each endof said plate, lips I) I) having countersunk holes formed in the saidlips in combination with a bracket d provided with a hook d havinganangled face 6, bearing wings d d on each side of the bracket d andextending laterally, outwardly pivot hole f formed in outer bars 01 ofbracket 01 substantially as specified.-

3. An adjustable bracket consisting of a specified.
